Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cocoa

33% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.1/10.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.2/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $36,461, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10. Against the Brevard County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.5 points.

Average gross rent is $1,005, 21% below the Cocoa average. The filing record is not thin: 475 evictions over 10 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2011, when 9.2% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 6.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
